INTRODUCTION
Over the last two decades, study abroad programs have become gradually incorporated into the standard curriculum of American business schools, and are now considered a defining characteristic of such educational institutions (Altbach & Knight, 2007; Loh, et al., 2011). As the economic, political, and societal forces of globalization proliferate, the traditional belief that American students can be fully educated toward becoming successful business leaders within the borders of the United States has diminished (Loh, et al., 2011). Indeed, the extension of globalization into the realm of business schools, and with it the prioritization of market logic, has pushed such educational entities toward broader international involvement as they attempt to address the needs of a growing global business world (Loh, et al., 2011). Yet as the international activity of the business school increases, its role as a locus of knowledge production must be questioned, as well as the legitimacy from which such institutions ground their claims of privileged knowledge. Most accounts of the study abroad activities of the business school rely upon the dominant belief that students are being trained to work in an increasingly global environment, and thusly utilize student narratives to understand intent-to-apply, choice, and the perceived benefits of participating in such international experiences (e.g. Toncar, et al., 2006; Fitzsimmons, et al., 2013). Further, most studies neglect to…

Curriculum
PART A: Rita Tenorio states that the curriculum is the happenings within a school. Tenorio suggests that the curriculum is much more than just books and lesson plans. Tenorio says the curriculum refers to the relationships, attitudes, and interactions that the school community participants in. When children are motivated, they are more inclined to learn.

Structure and Development of Curriculum
Education needs to address the knowledge and skills that young Australians require to become competent citizens in the 21st century. In 2008, a nation-wide curriculum was announced by then-Minister for Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister for Social Inclusion and Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard under the power of the Rudd Labour Government (Brady, 2010). Based on the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians…

What is the curriculum at Wilson Elementary and how is it implemented? I chose to research the curriculum at Wilson Elementary School because it is the school I currently teach at. I was interested in the curriculum of Wilson because teachers are given the freedom and professional judgment to do what is best for students. This means we are all to use the district curriculums, but use data, strategies, best practices and supplemental material to do what is best and most effective for students…

students in school, despite it being essential for present day survival. If managing money is more of a relevant skill than calculating train speeds, why is the latter mandatory to learn while the former is not? That being said, in order to prepare students for managing their future finances, the Ontario secondary school curriculum should be revised to introduce mandatory financial literacy courses throughout the school board. There is a lack of financially proficient secondary school students today…

skills is absolutely necessary for any Middle School student. At my age and younger, students have a tendency to be disorganized both physically and mentally. I have a knack for losing and forgetting my homework assignments and my grades suffering. I know I am not alone in this struggle against clutter and forgetfulness. Critical thinking classes provide a student with structure, study skills and the art of prioritizing. I know personally the effects of school on a student who is unprepared and disorganized…

impact on economic and social life. This growth has influence language specialists and teachers of ELT to have a different perspective on language learning and language use. The growing changes in standardized English ask for a curriculum reform and different ways for schools to meet the students’ needs. For those reasons I will critically review the following articles, “Opportunity and Diversity: The Handbook for Teachers of English”, created by the British Council in 2009. The article “Towards Intercultural…

The curriculum is also changing over time in all grade levels…

In contrast, Progressivism and Experimentalism…

the sharing of many cultures. When it comes to incorporating multiculturalism into a school curriculum, there should be a couple of main goals that every school should try to achieve. One of those goals should be for the school to teach children to recognize the differences and similarities among different cultures. By allowing students the opportunity to explore the uniqueness of different cultures, schools are also exposing those students to common traits shared by cultures as well. When children…

This is something I will build upon later in the essay. But just what is curriculum, and how might it be theorised? The curriculum represents a set of values…
